I used to think that MultiBLD was one of the hardest events to get similar performance in home vs. competition. But now suddenly both WR and WR2 are also PBs. o_O

Very, very impressive.

I thought that same thing until this last competition lol. Somehow just everything fell into place hopefully the comp nerves continue to stay away because they are typically very bad for me in blind events

Also Shivam's WR isn't and wasn't his PB -- he had two 48/48 results at home before the WR and they were both faster than the WR

Also, i guess you have to recognize that because multibld is fundamentally such a different event than all other events, getting a multibld PB in comp is not nearly as crazy as getting a PB in something like 3x3 imo. You basically can't get lucky in multiBLD at all, so your best result ever is usually a reflection of just how well you can do when your in your optimal, most focused mindset. It's just a matter of replicating that focus and mindset while in comp, which is obviously pretty difficult.

Another minor thing too, but imo my 44/46 in 56:54 that I got the week before the 42/42 NAR is a more impressive result. The way we have all decided multiBLD needs to be scored is what makes the 42/42 my PB, but I'm actually more proud of the 44/46, I kinda wish it was my PB instead lol

Oh! and one more funny thing to note:

Mark's 43/44 was PB2 at the time iirc (and I think still is?)
Maskow's 41/41 was PB at the time as well

Great job! Can anyone do at least one reconstruction of Graham's BLD solves?

It's not one from this multi, but he has a walkthrough solve here
